Get a single item from the inventory

I have a game where items are added to the player's PlayFab inventory rather frequently. After an item has been added, the game will request the player's inventory then store a cached version of all items. When a player has a few hundred items in the inventory, fetching their whole inventory uses a lot of data. Instead of having to re-download the whole inventory, it would be really convenient and save a lot of data if there was a way to request a single ItemInstance (or possibly a list of ItemInstances) using an ItemInstanceID or some other identifier.

A way even to say does player have item in inventory would be useful.

I think it's extremely strange that we can't Query a Single Item. I couldn't believe it so i searched the API documentation Multiple times because i thought i was missing something.

In Order for Dedicated Servers to Validate Entitlement , We have to Get All the User Inventory Of Hundreds of Items Iterate Through each one and Find the One with the ID for just a Simple Entitlement check. we have to do it for 10 Players per match so it'll add up to a lot of query.

Economy v2 supports filtering your GetInventoryItems request: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/playfab/economy/inventory/get-inventory-items

"Filter": "Id eq '{ItemGuIdHere}'"

See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/playfab/features/economy-v2/catalog/search#filter for more info.

Hmm seems to only work on the Type param for GetInventoryItems:

"errorMessage": "Not supported filter: Id eq '{GUID}'. Supported filter format: type eq 'type'.",

Were you able to get this working?

We finally got started on that work this week. :) I'd expect for it to be available early-to-mid February.

With the Economy V2 GA release, you can query by 'type', 'id', and 'stackId'. This should allow you to get one or more items from the inventory that match your Filter query.

only 'eq' is supported as a condition it seems. this doesnt make it a super useful 'filter'...
